Fisherman found alive on sea fort

A FISHERMAN was found alive yesterday on a sea fort after his crewmate’s body was discovered floating in the water.

Thames Coastguard was alerted at 8pm on Saturday after the Lisa K potting boat was detected by the Port of London Authority drifting seven miles north of Herne Bay.

It was found by the Coastguard in the area of the Kentish Flats wind farm with no crew on board. A search was launched and the body of the dead crew member was found by a lifeboat off the Kent coast last night.

His crewmate was transferred to hospital.
